Wire-Fu

At long last, Wushu gets the full-featured treatment it deserves! This 44-page pdf includes an expanded version of the core rules, plus a catalogue of essential Wire-Fu stunts and flourishes. Next, you get ten new character templates and a rogue's gallery of classic kung-fu villains from Evil Eunuchs to Kung-Fu Vampires. The book rounds out with a trio of sample settings and over a dozen pages of Kick-Ass Examples of Play. It's everything you need to run anything from Hero to The Matrix!

Wushu: A game you get or don't get... A game you'll love or hate! The entire range of Wushu books and suppliments comes with my highest recommendation. Though none of the suppliments are in any way essential, they all add a little to the game's conce [...]

I love roleplaying. I love to collect roleplaying books. My bookshelf full of beautiful, shiny, hardbound RPGs has always been my proudest possession(s). I also loved to collect, not just new settings, but new rules. I ~loved~ to pour over new mechanics, [...]

Imagine a game where it doesn't matter what level of power characters are at, or "party balance". A cyborg killing machine would be just as influential on the outcome of a game as a deadbeat janitor. That's right, Wushu solves the age old [...]

I'd recommend either this or Pulp-Fu to anyone who's intrigued about the Open rules, but needs a little more to help them kick the old RPG memes out of their head. Helped me a great deal in understanding the basics and the spirit of Wushu, so I could [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
